Hi Guys, Does anyone know the best way to go about improving the rear suspension on a GT6,-NON Rotoflex to start with,- I do not wish to go Rotoflex.
I have heard of the use of a Lotus set up,but from which model is best? also how do you go about it? and where to resource parts?
All inputs welcome. Cheers, Nick.

Yes, buy a cheap TVR S....I used to have a MK2 Vitesse which I thought was great until I got a TR6...then I thought that was great until I got a TVR S about 16 years ago and I now have another one which I have had for about 5 years, and I still think its great despite all the supposedly better and much more modern stuff I have either owned or driven. The only problems are minor, and mostly Ford based so easy to fix.
Regularly see a GT6 parked up on way to work...does look sweet, and I appreciate what you`re trying to achieve.

I'm in the middle of putting a full double wishbone back end in mine, but it requires some tubework taking up some of the rear boot area.

I'd interested to see this, is it a DIY conversion or a commercially available kit?

Would be great if you could take a few pics during and after construction, I reckon quite a lot of people will be interested in ridding various Triumphs of the abomination that is the rear suspension.
